Ben Simmons 2016 Scouting Report is Making the Rounds Again

Sixers fans are now setting up "missing person" signs for Ben Simmons throughout the city of Philadelphia after a lackluster postseason

Ben Simmons can be a bit of a handful, and that’s putting it nicely.

In fact, ahead of the 2016 NBA Draft in which Simmons was selected 1st overall, draft analyst Jonathan Givony put out a scouting report that may have seemed a little harsh at the time, but has since proven to have been pretty dead on accurate.

See Ben Simmons scouting report below:

Givony joined WIP Morning Show in Philadelphia to discuss the scouting report:

Most agreed with his previous assessment:

The most notable names if the Sixers would have passes on Ben Simmons would have been Brandon Ingram (#2 overall), Jaylen Brown (#3 overall). Jamal Murray (#7 overall) Domantas Sabonis (#11 overall), Pascal Siakam (#27 overall), Dejounte Murray (#29 overall), and Malcolm Brogdon (#36 overall).

I’m pretty sure the Sixers would be happy to have any of those guys right about now.
